Not-So-Eventful Week

Well, this week has been the same as last week for the most part. It seems like every week up to this point has brought something new, so this week seemed to drag a little. We're so anxious to find out the gender so we can get started on buying things and picking things out! What is difficult is knowing that if I just had an ultrasound right now, they could probably tell us! But we're not going to have an extra ultrasound just to find out the gender when our next one is scheduled in just a few weeks. I would, though... if the doctor hadn't told us not to. I want to know!

I have always pictured myself as a mom to boys, but I also know that God likes to throw curve balls sometimes. I heard someone talking this week saying that they think every woman "knows" before they have the ultrasound. I have no idea. I am so confused by all of the wives tales (which all say something different) that I don't know what to think. If I had to guess, I would say girl. But that is because 1) we are hoping for a boy (but will be thrilled with either - in no way would we be disappointed with a girl!) and 2) everyone keeps saying they think it's a girl. I think most of them are saying that to give us a hard time, but regardless... it starts to creep into your psyche. :) On top of that, all of Andy's friends have had a girl first. Every single one of them. There seems to be a cycle - will we be the ones to break the mold?? I wish I knew! I guess it will come soon enough, though.

isn't it crazy?! i don't know how people wait the entire 40 weeks. Not too much longer! I never really had a gut feeling either. we were hoping for a boy on the first one too. who knows?! either will be super fun!

God will give you what HE knows you need to make your life complete. So whatever it is, it will be the perfect choice.
